Swedish farmers face increasing societal expectations to contribute to climate change mitigation and need to find economically viable ways to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Knowledge on the planning- and other control tools for ensuring farm profitability under transition to lower climate impacts is particularly needed. This project will study the practices of designing and using management control tools to plan and follow up on emission reduction in tandem with economic planning. Through action research and mixed qualitative and quantitative methods, with dairy farmers and advisors we plan to a) design targets for farm-level GHG emission reduction, b) identify management control practices that help farmers steer towards these targets alongside economic considerations during operational and strategic decisions, and c) explore how advisory services can address potential knowledge gaps and farmers needs of management controls to align climate and economic objectives.
Svenska mjölkbönder står inför en ökad samhällelig förväntan att bidra till att minska klimatförändringarna och behöver därför hitta ekonomiskt hållbara sätt att minska växthusgasutsläppen. Kunskap om planerings- och andra styrverktyg för att säkerställa lantbrukets lönsamhet under övergången till lägre klimatpåverkan behöver särskild uppmärksamhet. Detta projekt kommer att studera hur och på vilket sätt styrverktyg kan användas för att planera och följa upp utsläppsminskningar i takt med den ekonomiska planeringen. Genom aktionsforskning, med kvalitativa och kvantitativa metoder, planerar vi att med mjölkbönder och rådgivare a) utforma mål för minskning av växthusgasutsläpp på gårdsnivå, b) hitta kontrollverktyg som hjälper mjölkbönder att styra mot dessa mål i samband med ekonomiska övervägningar vid operativa och strategiska beslut, samt c) utforska hur rådgivningen kan täcka eventuella kunskapsluckor och lantbrukarnas behov av styrverktyg för att balansera klimat- och ekonomimål.

The use of fungicides in potatoes is in many cases unnecessarily large in relation to the risk of infestation of late
blight and tuber blight. With increased and better knowledge of potato late blight and tuber blight, the average control
intensity can probably be reduced by 25–50%. With the …

Cultivation of legumes will increase due to several factors. Among these are extraction of plant-based proteins for human consumption, a demand for increased self-sufficiency of vegetable proteins within the country, reduced costs for fertilisers by N-fixation in the legumes, and use of legumes as …

It is generally accepted that muscle enzyme activity (CK and AST) levels in plasma may increase in Standardbreds and Thoroughbreds after exercise and racing, indicating muscle damage. However, in one recent study on healthy Standardbred trotters fed a forage only diet muscle enzyme activity levels …
